Women's Hair: Men Like It Longer

[Hoovie]

"Surprising Reason Men Don't Call Women Back

#2.Look like a woman. At work, conservative and structured clothing allows you to be taken seriously, but it's not exactly sensual by candlelight. Don't go straight from work in your power suit to meet him for dinner; rather, change into something soft and flirty. And try growing your hair longer: men told me that shoulder-length hair (or longer) is more feminine. Sure, you're a strong and capable woman, but think Scarlett O'Hara not Hillary Clinton."

It is interesting that longer hair is not associated with being conservative.


The other reasons given are also relating to femininity and showing the softer side.

So sensual appeal is another witness of the standard, ranking right up there with "if we only knew what witches knew".

Actually feminine appeal...they look more feminine.

I don't think that looking attractive is the same as being or appearing "sensual."

I got a thought that I wanted to share. Paul said,

I Corinthians 11:10
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels(Gk. aggelos).

The NIV puts it this way,

I Corinthians 11:10 (NIV)
10For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.

The magic hair crowd seems to believe that the term "angels" is speaking of supernatural spiritual beings who are somehow bound or empowered by a woman's hair. But that's not the only use of this word in Scripture. The term "angels" can also be used for ministers and pastors. For example most know that the seven angels of the seven churches who are addressed in the Revelation are believed by many, if not most commentators, to be the elders of those churches. In fact even John the Baptist is referred to as an angel in the Greek...

Matthew 11:10
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger (Gk. aggelos) before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Strong's defines this word as follows:

32 // aggelov // aggelos // ang'-el-os //

from aggello [probably derived from 71 , cf 34 ] (to bring tidings);
TDNT - 1:74,12; n m

AV - angel 179, messenger 7; 186

1) a messenger, envoy, one who is sent, an angel, a messenger
from God

So Paul's primary point may have been...

I Corinthians 11:10
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the messengers.

The women of Corinth were praying and prophesying in public worship with their hair down and unveiled, something considered rather worldly, immodest, and provocative in Corinthian culture. Those Christian men of Corinth in attendance who were once participants in depraved pagan gatherings could very well have been tempted, distracted, or enticed by the unveiled Corinthian women. Paul may have been admonishing women to submit to their own husbands, wearing a veil as a sign of this submission, and be modest so as not to tempt or distract the elders (or angels) who ministered among them.

No magic hair, or magic veils. No spiritual mumbo-jumbo or hoodoo-voodoo around a woman's head in the spiritual planes. Just some down to earth, common sense, teaching admonishing modesty and propriety in the Corinthian church.

All of this would tend to be in agreement with men thinking longer hair on a woman was appealing.

Just a thought.

What think ye???

Possibule. But the longer hair is still far more complimentary.

The mid-length of Hillary, Pelosi and others seems more like a modern version of a burka, except it's adherence to the mindset of that particular camp.

And then shorter than that, and look out, Butch.
